Proven color mixes for painting an array of vibrant hues--from the many different greens of foliage to the soft pastels of spring blossoms--using watercolor, oil, acrylics or mixed media
Step-by-step instructions on drawing and painting important details, such as the weathered textures of bark, the sculptural shapes of bare branches in winter, aged mossy trunks and more
Techniques for working smart in any medium, such as using simple watercolor washes for distant foliage, adding details with pen & ink, and "knife painting" in oils for interesting dimensional effects
